Fr. Stephen’s Christmas Social
All volunteers and staff are invited to this year’s exchange of Christmas Wishes on Friday December 10th as Fr. Stephen hosts a

Do Not Fear
Vie liturgique has assigned this theme to the entire liturgical year. The prophet Isaiah addresses a nation of people questioning “where are we going?” Pope John Paul exclaimed “Do not be afraid!” He urged us not to fear but to look to our Lord for help. Courage can allow us not only to break the chains of fear but to face our challenges. So, for this season of Advent :
Do not fear! The Day is near!
